Best Earwigs Poems
Garden FreshCrisp end of winter morning,
my shovel digs the soil,
turning over weeds and worms,
and watch them twist and coil …
hoe the dirt once more again,
until a soft and silky bed,
then plant seeds, where once grew weeds,
and grow vegetables instead.
Watch out for snails!
Watch out for slugs!
Watch out...

Butterflies of Snow: HexsonnettaLightly flutter snowflakes
as on the breeze they go,
these butterflies of snow.
Spiderwebs the frost makes
when the pewter day breaks
to snare them as they blow.
This window the webs ring
the porthole in the frost
on which the flecks are tossed
is tatted like the wings
of earwigs in the spring.
The glass...

No Proper GoodbyeThere was no closure of a proper goodbye.
I tried, but...
no reply.
Your body became limp and cold as
a corpse.
We froze alone
in different time warps.
My ambiguous stutters
wouldn't disappear.
They pinched...

My ObservationsAll the eagles soar increasingly circular overhead my umbrella.
All the elephants thrash inconsolably tasting of trees umber.
All the earwigs buzz inexpressively surrounding oracles with uncertainty.
All the evil makes illness triumphant over the unclean.
All these expressions say ignore details obey the unusual.
Animals like everyone have inelegant...

ForagingAs he wears his golden crown
He forages frantically.
The goldcrest alights, he touches down.
He wears his crown magnitoquently.
"Fee hee hee" he chirps rapidly
A spider, the goldcrest consumed;
From its web he had plucked it away.
His excited search for food then resumed,
He must eat to survive another day.
The...

Winnie the Pooh and IWe walked along a well-stuffed path,
Winnie the Pooh and I.
We admired to watch a grasshopper and a cricket play
And most of their time jump up to catch mountainous flies.
We crossed a stream on flowery shore
To reach the other side;
For what is where all every kind...

Counting On Youone, I want to scrub your fingerprints off of my skin til the burning feels like kinesthetic white noise.
two, I hope that candle I gave you finally burns out. I hope the scent will still linger in your pillows.
three, I know the sound of trains...

A Queue For the Loo At Nine Minutes Past Two Ok ThenA queue for the loo? is it nine minutes past two?
A windmill dashing to the sea. Ice cold waters in a monticule drip. Laced with the prevalent winds and sands. But sands are not sanding down a landing strip nor are they playing moving pictures...

Lifeboat Adrift At SeaPart 2
The passengers were a well-heeled lot who
Had no experience to the rigors at sea.
And their disillusionment grew... on seeing the crew
Entirely encrusted with earwigs and fleas.
But they were so inclined to pass their time

A Secretive Beetle With a Suitcase Jumping Around On a TrainTortoiseshell tulips often grow at left angles to the moon and are otherwise adjusted to a sealed lip of ground. But a curled canopy of shredded wheat and oats make even the wildest of gardens bloom. It is within the great oceanography of a garden...

Earwig Brain Harvestcrawling biting lacerating
sniffing, chewing
tunneling through
damp, waxy tunnel
ahh, sweet white brain
awaits…
gulping orange wax
swimming, striving
wait, I’m stuck!
what is this obstruction?
a strange, tough membrane…
elastic and taut
yes, of course, it’s the eardrum
foiler of earwigs
gotta punch through
snip tear poke rip slice
barely squeezing through
billowy elastic
syrupy warm fluid
slowing me down
sniffing pinching testing
struggling...

Snails and slugs
all kinds of bugs
earwigs, spiders and worms
jellied eels in slimy bogs you know
the kind that like to squirm.

I'm fat and I'm bumpy
I'm Ogre...
